BEAUTIFUL) CRIMSON RAMBLER— This new climbing Polyanth a Rose is the sensa- 

 tion of the day, and well it may be, for it is indeed a marvel. Originating in Japan, it 

 may well be considered the latest and best contribution from the "Flowery Kingdom" to 

 the gardens of the world. It is perfectly hardy in the open ground, and will grow eight to ten 

 feet in a season. An ever bloomer, continuing from early spring until late fall, the flowers 

 appearing in large panicles, of rich crimson color, like blood-colored velvet. The flowers when 

 cut last two weeks in water, and fully a month on the bush, which is a perfect mass of rich 

 crimson at all times. It can be grown in various ways, either as a pillar rose, or a trellis rose, 

 and for covering a wall it has no equal. 



Golden Beauty Rambler — The fact of this new hardy climbing Rose being identical 

 with Crimson Rambler, with the exception of the color of the flowers, which are deep golden- 

 yellow, is sufficient guarantee of its great excellence. It is a notable fact that we have no hardy 

 yellow climbing Roses, hence we look upon the introduction of this Rose as perhaps more im- 

 portant than its renowned relative, Crimson Rambler. The habit of growth is very vigorous ; 

 if anything, somewhat stronger than Crimson Rambler, well established plants making numer- 

 ous shoots eight to ten feet high in one season. As many as 120 to ISO blossoms are 

 frequently produced on a shoot. The color is a deep, decided golden-yellow; the flowers 

 are cup-shaped, nearly full and very sweetly scented. 



Pink Pearl Rambler— The flowers appear in large, full, handsome pyramidal trusses, 

 similar to Crimson Rambler, and ar^ borne in great profusion from three to five weeks during 

 the season. The color of the flower? pure shiny rose ; the half-open bud is a brilliant light 



i contrast. The numerous yellow stamens lend an addi-

 Rambler. No such important introductions have been made for many j
